The first winter has come, and with it, new problems. No longer are the zombies the biggest threat to survival. With the global infrastructure gone, people are forced to do whatever it takes to survive…even the unthinkable.

Steve faces his toughest decision yet as he tries to lead his people through one nightmare after another. Kevin risks everything to save one girl and finds himself in the middle of a military fight for power. Juan fights his way home, but soon finds himself leaving the island…at the worst time possible. Two women set out for London…but one has a secret that she is keeping under wraps. One man seeks to be a god as a new exodus occurs in Egypt. A soldier abandons his post, but can he escape his duty?

The darkest days have come now that winter has most of the world in its clutches.

Mr. Brown, I have such a bone to pick with you. You have turned me into a lazy oaf! I can’t seem to get my rump off the couch an do my chores because I’m so addicted to this series! All I want to know is, are you going to come clean this squalor that is my home? It looks like a herd of your Zombies shambled through here.

Seriously anyone interested or not interested in the Zombie genre should read this series. Well written, great characters and interesting scenarios. I’m on book 8 now and fully hooked! Shame on you Mr. Brown you Zombie pusher.

Winter is coming… As survivors around the world struggle to get their feet under them in a world overrun by the walking dead, a new problem rears its head. As unstoppable as any horde of zombies, the seasons march on, heedless of the fragility of the human race. The first winter is approaching.

Up in the mountains of northeastern Oregon, Steve’s band settles in but discover something so horrible that it may destroy them before the weather has a chance. Kevin faces ghosts from his past while struggling to maintain unity among his people. In other parts of this dead world, a team of scientists struggle to devise a cure… A new pharaoh rises in Egypt… Chad learns he will do anything to keep his daughter safe… Juan struggles with the demons of his past that tell him he is unfit to lead…or love… A military unit tries to restore order at any cost…

There is a forward in this book by Author Nicole Storey that says it all. She said at one point that she may not speak to TW Brown for awhile because of where he took the characters. I tend to agree very much. This is a somewhat dark part of the series. But still I wouldn’t have missed it for anything. It made me cry many times. There are very few books that I’ve read that I haven’t been tempted to go to the end to see what happened. This moved so fast that the temptation wasn’t there and I didn’t realize it until I finished. Now I have to wait until December for the next installment. Darn!! I don’t want to give any “spoilers” because that could possibly ruin it for other people. Read the forward. It says it all.

It has been months…

Steve has seen the worst in himself…and others. Now, it seems that zombies aren’t the only threat to the lives of his companions. Will he lose those he loves to the walking dead…or a murderer?

Kevin is the last geek standing, and a reunion with an old acquaintance puts him back in charge of a group of survivors. Will he fail in the one thing he thought he was prepared for? Or will he find his redemption?

Juan struggles with Mackenzie’s past…a scientist tries to create Eden with an unlikely Eve…and a young girl struggles to keep her sanity at the hands of a monster far worse than the ones gathered outside the walls of her family estate.

I got the first book of the series when it was free in September of 2012 and never read it. Of course, it finally dawned on me one day that this was written by the guy that write the awesome series of Zomblog that I really LOVED!!! And I was like “What is WRONG with me? Why didn’t I read this sooner?!”

And let me tell you……I LOVED this series just as much. Well, what I read so far. I have read the first four and had to restrict myself from my one click button after clicking it $13.00 worth! (Ask my kids, restrictions don’t last long with me so it won’t be long before I am one clicking away!)

The person that wrote an intro for the Winter book (I think it was that one…) was spot on. My favorite part of Mr. browns stories is in the fact that he isn’t afraid to kill off the main character or two. And that keeps me so intrigued it is crazy! I love his writing style!

The DEAD saga continues…

The zombies have risen, the world has spiraled into chaos. Small pockets of survivors continue to struggle each day to survive. The best and worst of humanity fight the undead and themselves as they come to grips with a new, violent reality.

See the world through Steve’s eyes as he tries to balance the duties of leading a band of survivors while caring for a young, Hispanic orphan girl. Ride along with a band of self-professed “zombie-geeks” who are discovering that living through the apocalypse is vastly different than watching it on television. Peek in at horrifying snapshots of men and women…good and bad. This is–

Do you notice a pattern here? No 1 or 2 star reviews, the majority are 5 star and there is a reason for that. I am a huge fan of the Walking Dead TV show and that got me to read a few “Zombie” books. I read World War Z and was ok but never gave closure. The movie was a huge disappointment. When isaw Dead: The Ugly Beginning”, I thought it would bea prequel to the Walking Ded. It wasn’t but what a great book, I had an extremely hard time putting it down and breezed through it. By the end of the book my appetite for more was comparable to TW’s zombies lust for flesh. Revelations curtailed that appetite only until I reached the end, which I just did a few minutes ago and I just finished purchasing book 3 and will be starting it when I finish this review. TW’s characters all have interesting story lines that are easy to follow and are very easy to relate to. The chapters are long enough to keep you interested but not too long to get boring. Some characters you will like, some you will hate (Garrett, Lee, Shaw), some are vanilla. One gret character is Jennifer Zombie. Reading the story from her aspect as a zombie is awesome.

I had never heard of TW Brown before I read these first two books but he has now joined my list of Stephen King, WEB Griffen & Tom Clancy as favorite authors.

The unthinkable has happened. The dead are walking! Humanity’s fragile thread may be reaching its bitter end. Individuals and groups struggle to survive…some at any cost. Will there be anybody left? Or, is this just…The Ugly Beginning?

WARNING: THE VIGNETTES CONTAIN SOME VERY DISTURBING SCENES, READER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.

“The story begins with a guy named Steve, and his POV, looking back on the beginning of a zombie outbreak. He receives a phone call from a friend, instructing him to turn on the local news. Steve chooses to ignore the signs of a zombie outbreak, even though he and his friends have discussed what they would do in that exact situation. However, Steve admits straight away that most of his speculation was very mistaken. Unfortunately, Steve lives in an apartment that has a door and living room window facing an outside hallway, which is how the first zombie gets in. Based on what he sees in the parking lot as he escapes, both people and animals can be infected (the zombies go after all living things). Although the cause is unknown (and Steve doesn’t think anyone will ever really know), the virus is definitely passed on by bites. Steve manages to save Thalia, a little girl who also lived in the apartment building, and the two are soon joined by a teenager named Teresa.

The POV begins to switch between various individuals and groups, but the changes are easy to follow. Some of the more gripping characters are:
Travis, former convict — watched what remained of his work crew devour another co-worker at a warehouse. Turns out to be one of the sickos who takes advantage of the anarchy.
Jaun Hoya — had been living in his car for eight months before outbreak reached him. He meets up with Travis, and thankfully has higher moral standards.
Darrin, Mike, Kevin, and Cary – some friends chatting online who create a survival plan that involves stealing a truck from U-Haul and loading it up at Wal-Mart superstore. These guys could have a book of their own…they had to deal with more obstacles than any other characters.
Dillon & Ian — trapped in their prison cells. Two of the few who had the sense to stand at the BACK of their cells.

There were three qualities that I loved about this story:

1) The author obviously pays attention to what is said in zombie fan forums, message boards, etc.
2) Brown presents all of his characters in the same attention-grabbing way, even if they die soon after their introduction…you don’t know it’s coming until it happens.
3) The characters acknowledge the existing zombie culture…these people have watched the same zombie movies, read the same zombie novels, and had the same discussions as zombie fanatics in real-life.

There is a huge cliff-hanger, but the author has plans for a series comprising as many as ten volumes. I do not recommend this book to the squeamish, but I think this is an excellent book for any zombiephiles who have read pretty much everything else zombie-related. I haven’t read anything this realistic since the The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks. I can’t wait to read more about these characters.”
